The world’s steepest dive roller coaster from Six Flags in Texas

Six Flags Fiesta Texas revealed the Dr. Diabolical’s Cliffhanger, the world’s steepest dive roller coaster.  This exhilarating new dive coaster features a cliffhanger hold, which suspends riders as they face straight down a 95-degree, beyond-vertical drop, then releases them moments later into a terrifying 150-foot dive. 

Key features of Dr. Diabolical’s Cliffhanger include: 

• Three sleek trains with three rows of passengers, seated seven across; 
• 2,501 feet of soaring track; 
• Thrilling anticipation while the ride vehicle pauses in a face-first cliffhanger hold before plummeting 150 feet; 
• Spectacular, beyond-vertical, 95-degree first drop; 
• A second 75-foot, near-vertical drop; 
• An Immelmann inversion, during which riders enter a half-loop, followed by a half twist, then exit the element traveling in the opposite direction making a 180-degree turn; 
• Four intense elements, including an extreme airtime hill, wild-banked turn, high-speed spiral, and 270-degree zero-g roll; 
• Speeds of up to 60 mph; 
• Immersive steampunk theming that tells the story of Dr. Diabolical’s plot to harvest fear; and 
• Dr. Diabolical’s Cliffhanger is a custom-designed roller coaster created by Bolliger & Mabillard. 

Riders must meet the 52-inch height requirement. Dr. Diabolical’s Cliffhanger was announced during the FT92 Fan Event, and will debut in the summer of 2022 during the park’s 30^th Anniversary season. It will be located in the Crackaxle Canyon Screampunk District.
